This dissertation focuses on the place of comics in defining Italian society and depicting values to children in the first half of the twentieth century. Fascists, conservatives, Catholics, and-after WWII-youth groups on the political Left were involved in the production of comics. These comics represented competing visions for society, and the values and themes portrayed in comics illustrated sources of support and of contestation within these models for society. During the period of Fascist rule (1922-1945), fellow travelers in conservative and Catholic circles were often entangled with the political and cultural agenda of Mussolini's regime. While the production of comics under Fascism was an object of censorship, publishers and authors were left to interpret Fascist principles through their own perspective. The values of those cultural figures at times aligned with and at others contested Fascist values (themselves often vaguely defined), offering alternative interpretations. As Italy transitioned into the postwar era, the debate over society within Italian comics expanded as the Left reentered political life. This study draws on state documents from the Central State Archives to construct the parameters within which comics were produced. Correspondence from the archives of the Mondadori Publishing House and the Italian Youth of Catholic Action further illuminate how publishers navigated state policies. Combing these sources with the visual analysis of comics reveals sources of overlap, including an emphasis on law and order as a means to resist socialism, the protection of traditional values and gender roles, and support for imperial expansion. Even American comics depicted values overlapping with those of the regime. After WWII, many of the values and social anxieties that aligned fellow travelers with the regime persisted, and Italian comics reflected the growing tensions between the political Right and Left as Italians set out to redefine their society.
